Learn to Prioritize

Make a  "to do list" places items in order of importance. One method is the ABC list. This list is divided into three sections; a, b, or c.

• Place items in the A section are those needed to be done that day.
• Place items in the B section are those needed to be done within the week.
• Place items in the C section are those needed to be done within the month.

*****Try it or come up with your own method!
